Don't underestimate Corvettes. They may be American, crude and cheap, but they're damned good cars. Don't forget the Corvette ZR1 is one of the fastest production cars in the world around the Nurburgring.

That said, I get your comparison. I don't see why a GTX 470 is even necessary at all. Total overkill and pointless use of money in my opinion. Whatever floats your boat though.

The ZR1 is complete kickass. I suppose I should rephrase my statement. I feel like a F430 at a C5 Z06 meet.

Believe it or not, even at only 1440x900, some games bog down this card.
